My Call to Christian Counseling

I pursued a career in Christian counseling out of obedience to God’s call for me to help His people. It is my honor to walk alongside God’s people and help them find hope in the light of Christ in the midst of the darkness they face.

Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

One of my passions is helping others who suffer from chronic stress and trauma to experience a new life. Trauma is invasive and needs to be handled with care. As a clinician trained in EMDR, I prefer to use EMDR therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, to clear the trauma out of your nervous system. EMDR is highly effective in treating PTSD. Trauma-informed therapy can be utilized as well.

Chemical Dependency and Substance Abuse

I offer a non-judgmental approach to tackling substance abuse struggles. I know that life can become unmanageable with addiction. I am here to walk alongside you to help, and all I ask is for you to be willing to do the work. Real change can happen if you want it. I use motivational interviewing to help figure out your desire to use substances. It is important to know what you are medicating, and then we can work together to adopt healthier coping strategies.

Abandonment and Neglect

Being abandoned and neglected was never part of God’s plan for us. It can lead to many various issues, including substance and process addictions to help medicate the wounds. God has more love than our hearts can handle. He can fill each wound and each longing of our heart’s desire. I am passionate about helping others find fulfillment in Him. I will use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to help you experience healing.

OCD

Obsessive thoughts and behaviors can feel overwhelming and alienate you from loved ones. I am here to help get to the root cause of feeling the need to do the same actions again and again. I am here without judgment, rather a curiosity. I invite you to be curious with me to find out how to tackle this together. Nothing is impossible with God! I will use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat your condition.

Anxiety and Depression

“Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NLT). This might sound like a daunting task with our current lives here on Earth. There is no sorrow Heaven cannot heal. Through prayer and various therapy treatments, I will walk alongside you to help the feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness, and fear to leave for good. You are worth it to God and also to me.
